Any drop in outdoor ranges near the GTA?

[u/Evening_Incident_683]

I go to target sports, but the range is only 25yards. I want something much longer. Any recommendations?

[u/LongRoadNorth]

Silverdale is only one but that's only 50 yards.

The 100 yard is members only I believe. Place is a dump anyways.

[u/Primary_Highlight540 → u/LongRoadNorth]

I was able to book 100yd as a non-member. They will make you sight-in on the 50 yd first.

Lucky

My experience there was 50 years and being muzzled twice with a loaded gun where the rso did nothing

death by a thousand cuts. a decade of continued harrasment from the CFO and scmucks from the GTA making it their designated range has caused it to come to that

Downrange sports in Mississauga but it is indoors You can kinda pay to drop in

[u/PsychologyTrick7306 → u/Mrdingus6969]

That place is overpriced and undersized.

There are no outdoor public ranges in the GTA, the available ones are private. Silverdale is the closest.

How do you get into those?

[u/No-Today5207 → u/Evening_Incident_683]

Find contact info for a club you're interested in and ask on how to become a member. From what folks on the sub say lots of waitlists and/or limited range options and high prices, but it is what it is to not have to drive hours to shoot.

Oshawa is just need to be sponsored by a member.

$380/year. 300 yard range 5 skeet, 4 trap, 18 station sporting and talks of expanding the sporting field

[u/No-Today5207 → u/LongRoadNorth]

Thats solid value

[u/RYRK_ → u/No-Today5207]

Until you try and can't get in even with a member sponsor...

[u/LongRoadNorth → u/RYRK_]

They let a lot more clay guys in, than rifle

😭

Sharon GC which is 15 minutes north of Target Sports has plenty of outdoor facilities.

For a rental share, it's about $700 to rent + $700 annual dues. Renewals are each July, there maybe some rental shares still available, call the club secretary to see. You can also purchase a share, but see GIF above.

The only one close to the GTA would be Silverdale. You can drop in almost any day until Dec. 31st and shoot on their 50 yard range. You will need to show proof of a hunting license like an outdoors card.

[u/Primary_Highlight540 → u/22GageEnthusiast]

You do not need a hunting license. Just your PAL

[u/717Luxx → u/Primary_Highlight540]

the "hunters sight in" option, drop in with no reservation, requires proof of hunters accreditation

[u/22GageEnthusiast → u/Primary_Highlight540]

I see. On their site it says you need to show proof of an outdoors card now. A few years ago this wasn't the case.

[u/Primary_Highlight540 → u/22GageEnthusiast]

I’ve never noticed that on their site. We’ve been there 3 times total. First time didn’t even have a PAL, because you can book packages where you use their guns.

[u/waitwhatnothing → u/Primary_Highlight540]

The way they did it a couple years ago before I became a member was that anyone with a PAL could drop in to the 50yd on I think Wednesdays and then in the fall there was “hunter sight-in” any day but you had to show your outdoors card. 

[u/Ommageden → u/Primary_Highlight540]

They half enforce all their rules and make up random ones depending on RSO so not surprising.

Dangg, so far.
